Turns out it's the FD attachment plate screws that are blocking further insertion of the battery holder. If I back the top screw out, the seat post slides further down.
Can't find any matching but shorter screws in my collection. I could try shortening these particular screws as a lot of it is unused into the frame.
If only I knew what size and thread pitch these were I could look up some alternatives...

These are the bottle cage screws I'm using with no issue. i can insert and remove my ER9 battery holder with no issue.

On the bright side you already have another frameset owner who has pioneered this installation! When I was trying to figuring all of this out, I was about to give up and just order a Wheeltop EDS TX groupset!  ;D

I had added it to my wish list and the price was around 80 euros...this morning when I saw that price, I rushed to order it immediately because it indicated only one item available...once I confirmed the order, the price went back to the previous one (almost 80 euros).

Should the foam tube be applied along the entire length of the brake cable that remains inside the frame, or just in some specific points?
Thanks

I would install the foam tubing on the brake hose first. Also I would stop the foam tubing right at the head tube area. On my R088, I think I put too much foam tubing which caused rubbing on the C-ring. It made some inadvertent rubbing sounds, so I had to remove everything and trim the foam tubing. It would only happen when I was turning the handle bars.

I ordered wheeltop groupset because I was tired of waiting for affordable er9 shipping to Canada. I also thought that I would not have to bother placing the battery in the seatpost!

Yeah, that was my initial recommendation from the beginning, either Wheeltop or SRAM AXS. The ER9/X is doable, but it's extra work and does require some DIY know-how. My other idea would be the new wireless LTwoo eTX with replaceable batteries. I could totally imagine building a 1x climbing frame with a large ratio cassette using that groupset!
